Best Restaurants for Foodies in Brierley Hill

The decor and views of Birmingham were amazing. The food was exceptional in quality. However, one of our group was vegetarian. There was only one starter and one main she could choose from the Sunday lunch menu and although she thoroughly enjoyed the taste of both, the portion size was extremely small compared to the other dishes around the table. On the opposite side of the scale, the size of the roasts and the vegetable accompaniments were plentiful. Overall a very nice set menu lunch, but the portion sizes for the vegetarian dishes should be increased to warrant the same price tag as the larger meat and fish options.

What a superb restaurant! We have lived locally for four years and never tried this restaurant as you need to book well in advance and we’ve never been organised enough to do so… We had a variety of pasta, pizza and a sharing T bone steak platter between us and the food was delicious. The steak and pizza were obviously cooked in a wood fired oven as they had a lovely smoked flavour and the pasta was excellent too. Service was attentive, efficient and friendly, I’ll definitely be back again.

The atmosphere and value was great. Just some minor pieces of feedback. The service was a little slow and we had to ask for the wine we ordered as our starter arrived before the wine. Also some of the red onion was very hard and not edible. But as I said very minor.

I booked a table for two at Asha's to celebrate my husbands birthday. We had such a special time and all the staff were friendly and courteous and the food was sublime. We will return for more special occasions. Thank you to the team at Asha's for treating us so well.

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.
